That said, I was a bit disappointed by the food. I got the scallop and shrimp risotto, and it was lacking flavor, was extremely heavy, and the shrimp didn’t seem fresh.

The owner was very nice and checked on us occasionally to make sure we were happy. Marco our server was very good and his recommendations were amazing. We had the black gnocchi for app. Beet salad, lasagna with the house made mozzarella and the salmon entree. Everything was delicious. Marco recommended an Italian wine that was delicious for my husband. I had my go to Aeperol spritz… all very good! We ended with the chocolate mousse and a limoncello…excellent!!!

Nice the host remembered me as a frequent visitor and the server, Carlos, was attentive and nice. Always a lovely ambience. BUT the food was so disappointing this time - scallops were undercooked and the lasagna overcooked. Mixed green salad drenched in too much dressing. Fried calamari was very good although the marinara sauce lacked flavor this time around. Positive points for the wine and martinis filled to the rim in lovely glassware. Caesar salad and soup were okay. It was very busy and maybe the kitchen was overwhelmed. Not sure. I'll definitely come back but probably just stick to the tortellini mignon which seems to always be consistent and delicious. I miss the orichettie paata dish - I think it had like a pork sausage sauce, not sure. But it was tremendous.
